The SummaryTyphoon Shanshan (international code 200018) is a 2000 Northwest Pacific typhoon; peak intensity Super Typhoon, max wind 69m/s, minimum central pressure 925hPa, not in China Landfall, 2000-09-24 was numbered off, recorded 36 track points.
Typhoon Shanshan, international code 200018, international name SHANSHAN, 2000 Northwest Pacific typhoon. Formed: 2000-09-15 18:00:00, ended: 2000-09-24 12:00:00. Peak intensity: Super Typhoon, minimum central pressure: 925 hPa, max wind: 69m/s.
Typhoon Shanshan at 2000-09-15 18:00:00 at 15.1°N, 178°E over the Northwest Pacific; initial intensity: Nameless.
It peaked at Super Typhoon intensity with max winds of 69 m/s (~248 km/h) and a minimum central pressure of 925hPa, recorded at 2000-09-21 18:00:00.
2000-09-24 12:00:00 After, Typhoon Shanshan gradually weakened and was numbered off on 2000-09-24 12:00:00 was numbered off; its lifecycle recorded 36 track points.
Typhoon Shanshan (200018)'s life history begins at the International Date Change Line near the ocean area. From 15 September 2000 at 18 am at 15.1°N, 178°E formed Nameless, its initial phase Moving slowly and slightly W-folded, until September 17 at 06 am reached the most W-side Position14.5°N, 173.6°E. Then, the system shifted toward NW, and gradually accelerated.
It is worth noting that after the Typhoon reached the most N-end W-side pole point (23.5°N, 165.3°E) at 18 on September 21, the path showed a noticeable turn toward feature. Since then, Moving direction changed to NE toward, the length value re-enlarged, from 165.3°E toward E returned to 176.7°E, the latitude also continued toward N extended to 38.9°N. During the entire life cycle, Typhoon Shanshan did not landfall any land, has always been active on the open ocean surface, and finally at September 24 at the higher latitude sea area weakened.
In terms of Intensity changes, Shanshan presents a typical “fast enhancement – peak maintenance – gradual weakening” process. The system was intensified into Tropical Storm in the morning of September 18 by Nameless, then crossed the Severe Tropical Storm, Typhoon and Super Typhoon levels for 48 hours in a row. September 20 at 06 am, wind speed has reached 51m/s, Go to Super Typhoon line; by September 21 at 18 pm, max wind climbed to peak 69m/s, this time at 23.5°N, 165.3°E, marking its intensity peak.
Shanshan's peak intensity (69m/s) in 2000 compared to the same name in History was significantly higher at 2018 Shanshan (Severe Typhoon) and 2013 Shanshan (Tropical Storm). While Shanshan also reached Super Typhoon level (minimum air pressure 935hPa) in 2024, Shanshan in 2000 showed an extremely high wind speed of 69m/s. As a landfall-free telescope Super Typhoon, its complete development portfolio provides an important sample for the study of the intensity of Northwest Pacific Telescope Typhoon.
